NZ Sporting History: Jenny Newstead

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm today

Our guest for New Zealand Sporting History this week was a household name in the 90s. Jenny Newstead made her paralympic games debut in the 1992 tournmament in Barcelona. It's fair to say she smashed it; winning medals in all her swimming events. Apart from Cristeen Smith's gold medal in Athletics, Jenny's four golds and a silver basically WAS New Zealand's medal count. And then 4 years later in Atlanta, she did it again. Jenny joins us from our Christchurch studio to tell us about her swimming success and what she's up to now.
